Under the moon you'll go running for the man you call your lover. And you'll find out that he's drowning in the Devil's sacred water. And your sore heart can't condone it while your heavy mind grows weak, and you'll secretly be crying while you're acting so discreet. And it's hats off to you my friend, you're lost and found where you started with him. Your heart's still spinning like a leaf in the wind moon running takes you to the limit again. So you search outside your crying to bring him back again. Smoke filled rooms are the climate where you'll end up finding him. And you know he could be lying with sweet words to smother sorrow. Inside his eyes he'll be smiling cause you'll be with him tommorrow. You're so sure that he'll make changes cause he's got no happy face but you wind up turning pages in the history book you hate. And you find yourself moon running chasing visions while you're able with your memories made from legends of an ancient fairytale. Well it's hats off to you my friend, you're lost and found where you started with him. Your heart's still spinning like a leaf in the wind moon running takes you to the limit again. Reality seldom bears the possibilities of imagination! [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 02-08-2001).] |

P T dear heart, I'm a guttersnipe, I haven't got any manners Is this good, I don't know me! (So now do you want to real me to swan in and say that this is utterly awesome.) You knew I would, yes yes I know I can't ever tie my heart up and hope it won't be touched by your beauty, by your awesome ability to leave me breathless. Oh to be a real poet, and no I'm not jealous, because this is a wonderful utterly fabulous poem. Of course it is you wrote it. So was that constructive, and mannered, possibly, it was truth. and that is a fact. I love it and I've missed you too. Welcome home poety's blues man Love you dear heart Take care love as always Mushy And while thy willing soul transpires At every pore with instant fire Andrew Marvell 1621-1678 |

This has a cadence that makes music all its own... Granted, it's not soothing, drift off to sleep music... but so many of us need to heed the drumbeats heard in "but you wind up turning pages in the history book you hate." This is excellent! |
